The guru two tech founders traveled to India for — after he had died
Neem Karoli Baba, revered by his followers as a saint, established the Kainchi Dham ashram in the Himalayan foothills and died in September 1973. Mark Zuckerberg — born in 1984, eleven years after that — said publicly in 2015 that Steve Jobs had advised him to visit that same ashram, and that he spent about a month there during a difficult stretch for Facebook.
